The story

In 1940, a foreign reporter, “Comrade X”, is bypassing censors and sending out critical stories about the Soviet Union.

His predecessor, Comrade Molkov, who was “not watching his step” has been the victim of a “traffic accident.” All reporters will be restricted, unable to leave Moscow without permits.
